Zhang Shixin's configuration for his subordinates can be called luxurious.

Although, the most popular equipment is not the AK-74 assault rifle, nor is it a machine gun or anything like that.

Rather, it was an inconspicuous M1911A2 semi-automatic pistol.

Whether it's a summoner or a recruit, an officer or a soldier, in short, the members of the Elven Dragon Security Company have an M1911A2 in their hands.

No country in the world would have been equipped with a soldier's pistol in this way.

The cost of this thing is not high, but the people who wear pistols in the army are at least in the rank of non-commissioned officer.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin's approach can be described as quite alternative.

But for Zhang Shixin, although the cost of the pistol and a series of supporting facilities is not high, it is still relatively expensive overall, but this thing can save the lives of soldiers in some special circumstances.

For example, if a soldier is engaged in a short distance with an enemy and has no bullets for his primary weapon, he draws his pistol and fires faster than he can reload.

Although the time difference of two or three seconds is not enough to really save the soldier, if there is no pistol, the soldier can only take actions such as changing bullets, which greatly reduces the soldier's survival rate.

Zhang Shixin provided relatively little equipment for his subordinates, but his individual firepower was stronger than that of the regular armies of many countries.

The current Gultoka Empire has also begun to update its equipment on a large scale, but whether it is the average number of machine guns or the number of automatic firepower installations, etc., it is far inferior to Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company.

Zhang Shixin's troops do not have submachine guns now, because Zhang Shixin looked at the submachine guns in World War II and came to a conclusion, that is, these submachine guns are completely the product of two levels compared to the AK-74.

Although the power of the AK-74 is not too strong, if it hits the enemy, even if it is not critical, three to four rounds can make most of the enemy troops lose a certain combat capability.

The power of the submachine gun is a little stronger than that of the AK-74, but the submachine gun is not very suitable for use on the battlefield because the range is shorter.

The effective range of the AK-74's ordinary bullet is more than 400 meters, which is a distance that is difficult for submachine guns to reach.

Moreover, small-caliber bullets are somewhat more stable than submachine gun bullets.

Although the AK-74's 5.45mm bullet is not as lethal as the AK-47's 7.62mm bullet, it plays a much better role in street fighting than the AK-47.

At the same time, small-caliber bullets have stronger penetrating lethality for walls and the like than large-caliber bullets, and are more suitable for street battles, which have to penetrate walls from time to time.

Zhang Shixin's subordinates can be described as extremely happy, because Zhang Shixin's ammunition supply is very sufficient. Each soldier can carry as many bullets as he needs.

Zhang Shixin's combat purpose is not to be stingy with bullet consumption under the condition of effectively killing and injuring the enemy.

Under the combination of the above premises, Zhang Shixin's subordinate assault troops fought for the house and achieved quite good results.

Sometimes, a member of an assault team, with a few AK-74s, can shoot at a suspicious area of the house with a few AK-74s, and be able to kill and injure enemies hiding in the room through the wall.

Zhang Shixin made a provision for his infantry troops, that is, before the assault team completely cleared a house, the machine gunners or something must maintain their own battle line. Then, after the assault team had completed its task, it quickly shifted positions.

The machine gun that Zhang Shixin installed for his infantry unit is mainly the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun, which is much more expensive than the MG-42, but Zhang Shixin does not like the ultra-fast rate of fire of the MG-42, and the tilt of 20 rounds per second is very terrifying. It's just that these 20 bullets kill one person very wastefully.

Moreover, there is another problem brought by the ultra-fast rate of fire, that is, even if the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun uses point fire, the hit rate is relatively low.

This is a disadvantage of the MG-42, which is not a disadvantage.

Although the cost of the MG-34 is high, its comprehensive actual combat surname can be compared with the MG-42, and Zhang Shixin believes that the MG-34 is better.

Very few infantry members are equipped with M2 heavy machine guns, as few of them can carry them in charge. Because it's a little too heavy.

The 12.7mm bullet itself is much heavier than the 7.92mm caliber bullet, so Zhang Shixin can't imagine that this thing is equipped with an external drum, and there are a few people who can pick it up and shoot.

As for what sniper rifles, flamethrowers, anti-tank bazookas, Zhang Shixin also responded.

The premise is that those infantry can pick up and fight on their own without too many obstacles.

Zhang Shixin's assault team was not exactly assaulters, but also had one or two snipers and some formations with other heavy weapons in their hands.

All in all, although Zhang Shixin's troops did not have too many types of weapons, his combinations were quite numerous.

Because they may be mixed together, or they may be arranged to complete their own tasks alone.

……

Street fighting breaks out in a city, and many times, the armored units are more of an auxiliary or even a spectator.

This lies in the geographical limitations of the combat area.

For example, some alleys are not accessible to tanks, not to mention armored vehicles. In this case, the infantry was able to accomplish the combat mission only on its own.

An assault formation is more than a company, and at least a squad. The advantage of this is the ability to fight in more areas at the same time with a limited number of troops......

The number of people carried by an armored vehicle is about 10 to 15 people, depending on the size of the armored vehicle.

However, the armored vehicles used by Zhang Shixin's mechanized infantry units are relatively large multi-purpose armored vehicles, because some of the soldiers' reserve ammunition is also deployed on these armored vehicles.

The members of these assault squads differed from their counterparts who accompanied the armoured units in combat, and they did not move until the former had taken control of most of the Main Street area.

All they have to do is clear as much of the enemy forces as possible that are hiding among the residential complexes.

So, at some point, while the front in Operez's western district continued to move into the inner part of the city, other fighting noises could still be heard in some areas of the relative periphery.

This is the rhythm of the assault team's battle with the remnants of the Osvell Army.

However, this is an established battle plan, and most of the personnel who carry out these tasks are recruits who have not experienced war. Their commanders are veterans from other units.

Such a combination of old and new tactics can make a force mature quickly.

But it is not without its drawbacks, that is, if the veteran soldiers in the team die in battle, the combat effectiveness of this army will drop a lot, and it may even collapse directly under an accident.

Zhang Shixin didn't know this, but for him, he didn't have time to pay attention to such a situation now.

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

Zhang Shixin's troops had advanced in front of the large shopping mall that was the hub of Operez's western district, where the resistance of the Oswelt army was fierce, and Zhang Shixin's men had suffered more than 800 casualties here, and even some tanks and armored vehicles had to be abandoned on the road.

A large number of artillery shells were constantly bombarding this large mall, but for such a large building, even the use of concrete destruction bombs did not have much effect.

Some of the Osvells were constantly changing positions, although many of them were killed or injured by shells that had penetrated the walls and exploded directly on the other side of the room.

(Few people survive being hit by shells, like the kind of domestic TV series that takes a 155mm shell or even a larger-caliber high-explosive grenade in the trench and continues to shoot...... Less is better. Otherwise, how could the predecessors of the Volunteer Army not be able to withstand the offensive of the Americans? Because of a round of shelling, few people on the entire front were alive. ）

But these Osville troops are still stubbornly resisting the attack of the Elven Dragon Security Company.

Gnier was in command of the battle in a room on the sixth floor, knowing that without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before it was lost.

The problem is that the last of his troops have already gathered in this area......

He didn't have any reserves.

Although he is the military commander of Opezez's western district, the troops in his hands are only three mechanized divisions that are not fully manned, and they can withstand until now, firstly, Zhang Shixin has not launched a strong attack regardless of the lives of his subordinates, and secondly, he has distributed his troops in the outer areas for defense.

That's why he's been able to stick to the present.

He was also well aware that although his zone was falling faster than the others, the casualties in the other zones were at least three times as high as his own.

In other words, several other defense zones are defensive systems built with human lives.

Although he didn't know what kind of troops were attacking him, their efficiency was terrifying.

Not to mention anything else, just the other party advanced into this area without damaging too many buildings in Xicheng District, which is much better than the other three urban districts that have been reduced to ruins.

He didn't know how the other party did it, but he was very helpless when he met such an opponent, and at the same time, he was a little excited.

He glanced at the dusty table, and then asked the correspondent, "Hasn't there been any reply from the palace side?" ”

"Sir! There has been no reply from the palace! Are we going to send someone over and ask? The Signal Soldier pressed his headset tightly and asked Gnier without looking back.

Gnier shook his head: "No need, it is estimated that the palace has become quite chaotic, have the other generals replied?" ”

The signal soldier was silent for a moment, and then said: "General, those generals said that they themselves are seriously short of troops, and can only hope that you can withstand the enemy's attack!" ”

Gnier sighed lightly, he had known such a result, but he had not given up.

At this time, a captain officer covered in blood rushed into the room and said in a panicked tone: "General! It looks like the enemy is about to launch a general assault here! The remaining soldiers could see that the other side was constantly hauling a large number of artillery pieces with tanks and armored vehicles. ”

"Don't let the other side finish the arrangement of the artillery positions! What are our artillery doing!! Gnier roared.

The captain shook his head, tears in his eyes: "General, those artillerymen they completed their mission, and in the end, none of them escaped. ”

"......" Gnier silently paralyzed in his position, and then waved his hand: "You go down and command the battle." If the other side comes in, you can give those wounded soldiers a good time. ”

"General! Why can't we surrender!? ”

"Do you think the enemy will agree to our surrender after seeing those corpses?" Gnier smiled bitterly and said in a mournful tone: "The other side will not accept our request for surrender, whether it is public or private, so we had better make those wounded soldiers more comfortable on the road." ”

"This ...... Be! Checkmate! ”

The captain left, and Gnier sat down in his place with a sigh on his face.

……

As the captain said, the artillery units arranged at the bottom have been wiped out by Zhang Shixin's troops.

In some rooms, the remains of a cannon door that had been blown to pieces could even be seen.

High-explosive shells are not very effective against concrete, because in the case of curved fire, the shells are more likely to smash a large hole in the outer wall than to effectively kill the enemy behind the wall.

Zhang Shixin knew that street fighting would inevitably require dealing with a large number of enemies hiding behind cover, so he purchased quite a lot of concrete destruction bombs of suitable caliber.

This special high-explosive bomb modeled after APCR has quite excellent destructive ability for bunkers.

Because this shell does not trigger a forced explosion on the outer wall, after the shell destroys the outer wall, the remaining warhead will cause a violent explosion in the inner space. So a concrete-destroying bomb is very effective for a building.

Some of the settings in the game are quite unreasonable, that is, no matter how powerful the high-explosive projectile is, it is not very effective against concrete buildings, and sometimes, it is good to be able to blow up a house.

As for armor-piercing shells and the like, it is even more unreliable, and many times, high-piercing shells even pierce the house, and the house actually has two holes.

Hollow projectiles like the HEAT can also inflict some damage on enemies behind cover, but it's also impossible to expect this thing to destroy a house.

In such cases, the use of concrete-destroying shells by artillery is more of a last resort.

However, concrete destructive bombs are limited by the charge factor, and for buildings such as large shopping malls, the main structure is simply difficult to be damaged.

Zhang Shixin watched the shells fired, and such a building was simply indifferent, and he knew that the rest of the situation had to be solved by the infantry.

The towing artillery was just the rhythm of clearing the way for the infantry.

He didn't know that if there was such a thing as a strategic bomber in the world, it was estimated that only a dozen 500-kilogram aviation concrete destruction bombs would be needed, and this large building would be finished.

After all, power is not a level.

But now, Zhang Shixin had to order the troops to launch a charge to occupy this place.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

Cannonballs rumbled, and shells rained down on the mall.

Zhang Shixin looked at the flames that kept bursting on the outer wall, and the falling masonry and debris, he compared the strength of the enemy's counterattack, and finally waved his hand on the turret of the E-75B......

The next moment, hundreds of armored vehicles, led by dozens of tanks, launched a charge.

The large shopping malls no longer have heavy firepower, because Zhang Shixin's artillery intensity and accuracy far exceed the world's cognition.

After two hours of shelling at this level, not to mention this large shopping mall, which is not a regular fortress, even some fortresses that are not very well defended, are quite sufficient.

So these assault troops did not encounter much obstacle and rushed through the square to the west of the large shopping mall.

Although from time to time machine gunners with armored vehicles were hit, the defenders who counterattacked suffered more casualties under the aim of hundreds of guns.

Some of the heavy tanks used tank artillery to open open the gaps as they approached the ground floor of the mall, and then they stood by in place.

The armored car formation, after approaching the mall, made a turn, and then reversed to get close to the mall.

One by one, the armored doors of the rear compartment were opened, and the infantry units inside rushed into the mall.

In an instant, the fierce rhythm of battle continued to sound inside the mall.

After eliminating several enemy troops guarding an area selling clothes, an assault team discovers a corridor leading to the underground.

However, the soldiers found nothing of value in it, and in one room, there was only a rather rudimentary bed and a table with some cans and drinking water.

The team leader touched the bed and found that it was still a little hot, but he saw that several of his subordinates were shaking their heads at him, and his heart was quite strange.

But the signal soldier pressed the headset tightly at this time, and then said to him: "Captain! Others met stubborn resistance on it! ”

"Let's go!"

……

Although the resistance of the Osville army was quite stubborn, the inferior forces and the huge gap between the equipment were cleared.

Zhang Shixin's subordinates also paid a considerable price here.

The temporary headquarters of the commando team on the first floor had to ask for support after half an hour.

After Zhang Shixin glanced at the other high-level officials who rushed over to converge, they never thought that the battle would actually reach the point where they needed support.

Although he was very surprised, Zhang Shixin once again transferred a group of 1,200 infantry from Strar's troops to support.

……

The battle to occupy the large shopping mall lasted until dusk in the afternoon, and Zhang Shixin was not without other actions, but he would not launch an offensive against the palace at the moment.

It's just that after the battle, Zhang Shixin got a message:

That is, a civilian with a female surname is desperately protecting an Osville general.

The other party hoped that Zhang Shixin's subordinates would not kill him,

Zhang Shixin was silent for a moment, he did not force his subordinates to do it, but gave an order to rest and recuperate. At the same time, let his subordinates bring those two people over.

What Zhang Shixin didn't know was that because he did this, he changed the lives of those two people. (To be continued.) )
